But puns and dad jokes don't generally fall in my realm... I'm not as funny as you all. So I'll leave it to you.

I am peeking Scotty, you?

lol, someone is trying to decide how to answer that it seems. You had to have expected I would bat the question back at you. Must be trying to decide whether or not to tell me the truth.

Whoa whoa, I didn't come back to check the thread until now. I peeked Epignosis.

Seems like a good choice to me. I wasn't worked up for the record, I was amused. Maybe I should have include the laughing smiley.

On an unrelated note, I am done with Season 1, hopefully can start Season 2 tomorrow. So good!

If you convert the name of your animal to binary, is the number in the rightmost digit place a 1?

Sure, if any spectators want to view the chat rooms, they can contact me for access. However, I’d ask that they not engage with the players about the game.

You can tell people about your role and actions. You can also lie about your role and actions. You cannot screenshot my PM’s to you or CC anyone else in your PM’s to me.

Speedchuck... I'm afraid to PM you a third time. I haven't broken your rules. If I PM you back, then I will get NOTHING. That's the rules, right?

I have changed the rules. Pray that I do not change them any further.

Anything I say to you is true from that point on. Unless it isn't. And as the first PM, you have already been delivered what has been promised. I can hardly take that back.

Posted: **Thu Apr 26, 2018 1:14 pm**

Guarantee for this first round: I will not lie at any point.

Should that be a guarantee for the whole game? Would this strategy be appealing to my fellows? What do you guys think?

Posted: **Thu Apr 26, 2018 1:19 pm**

I would consider that to be short-sighted, a foolish promise to make as an unknown game opens before us.

Posted: **Thu Apr 26, 2018 1:26 pm**

I will probably lie at least once in this first round. I think the game doesn’t work if you don’t lie, and I think it foolish to completely tell the truth in a game of bluffing trying not to die

I tend to agree with this line of thinking. I kind of expect people to lie.

I'm not going to lie this round either. I think it's best assessed on a round-by-round basis though.

They can engage in BTSC with other dead players, but they cannot contact any living players, or post in the game thread.

Does this rule mean that if I die I can come back as a ‘sponsor’ ala hunger games and give info to players i want to help win?

Sounds kinda like a popularity contest to me

No. When you die in this Match, you can only have contact with other dead players. This prevents you from giving living players information that might influence the game.

Posted: **Thu Apr 26, 2018 4:45 pm**

Dead players can only talk to dead players so I don’t see how they could affect the game.

Ah ok great i misread it.

Things like that is what failed me in school functions like prom king and queen. Didn’t care about popularity.

Anyway, thanks!

Telling the truth and not saying anything are two different things. I'm not going to necessarily go around broadcasting everything I do.

But if I happen to tell you something, it won't be a lie. Guarantee.

You can transfer your Garnets to another person simply by PM'ing me.

I love how utterly random and bizarre the "host" of The Genius is. It's like, at some point, they considered hiring someone, then said screw it and just made it a mannequin with facial bandages. There's never any attempts at explanation or context. Even the contestants never really seem to question or comment on it, only just cheerfully referring to him as "Bandage Man."

He had an unfortunate accident eating garnets and surgery went terribly terribly wrong
